We were shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden death of Ian McPherson and will participate in any way possible in the CCA’s Memorial Fund.

The Global Summit will be Oct 6 – 9 in Québec. The IHCO meeting will probably be Sat Oct 4th or Thurs 10th. Probable dates for our AGM Fri 3rd or Fri 11th.

We are supporting the application to the McConnell Foundation being prepared by Nor’West.

Nor’West is organizing a Hans Kai conference call in late January or early February.

Thanks to John Overall, we discovered why the website was dead – the original provider, although paid till June 2014, was directing everything to an inaccessible parking lot. So now we are working on updates. Send us your latest news, including celebration photos!
